VGDM #96 - No Diversity, No Games - How inclusion is no longer optional
**No Diversity, No Games - How inclusion is no longer optional**
The game industry has more talent, bigger budgets, and more powerful technology than ever before. Yet we’re stuck in sequels, safe bets, and recycled ideas. For decades, innovation was driven by hardware and graphics. That era is slowing down. Higher fidelity alone no longer creates novelty. Jack Gutmann argues that the next frontier of originality is perspective. Homogeneous teams create blind spots, predictable design, and cultural echo chambers, a form of creative inbreeding. With AI amplifying existing patterns, inclusion is no longer optional. It is creative infrastructure. If games are to remain innovative and culturally relevant, inclusion must be understood as creative infrastructure
[Jack Gutmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-gutmann/) is a Real-Time VFX and Technical Artist based in Vienna. He specializes in building visually distinctive effects systems, bending technology to serve strong artistic direction. Best known for Path Out, created with Causa Creations, Jack has since led VFX pipelines on stylized and narrative-driven titles. He has collaborated with industry professionals such as Rami Ismail and Castpixel on projects including Australia Did It, translating ambitious creative visions into production-ready scalable effects. Beyond production, he hosts The Generalists, a podcast dedicated multidisciplinary thinking in game development. His work aims to demystify high-level craft and creative decision-making in an industry that often overemphasizes narrow specialization. His talks explore how team composition, cultural perspective, and technical infrastructure shape originality in games, and why diversity is the next driver of innovation.
**After some announcement we will look at at least 2 games**

TUESDAY 👋⚽ FOOTBALL FRIENDLY 20:30-22:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN +Video Highlights
Things to know before playing:
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls;
We play Tuesday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

**\*[Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sorinSocial/)** \- Please use non\-Commercial product
We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria.
The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We will confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group/s. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.
Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time.
Important management rule:
**\> "No shows" are penalized with 10€ fee\. Please remove your name from the list at least SIX\!\!\! \(6\) HOURS before the event\.** Book a place via FootballExperiences.NET using this link [FOOTxp](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/)
One small final note:
Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love.
That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun!
Thank you.

Electric Shower Thoughts | Gus Horn | English Stand-Up Comedy @TheComedyPub
# [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/electric-shower-thoughts-gus-horn-english-stand-up-comedy-thecomedypub-tickets-1981227633184?aff=MeetUp)
Brazilian-American comedian Gus Horn debuts his new show in Vienna—smart, personal stand-up about identity, expat life & chaos.
🎤 About the Show
Brazilian-American comedian Gus Horn brings his newest solo show Electric Shower Thoughts to Vienna for the very first time.
What do you get when you mix:
a Brazilian upbringing
Austrian winters
American corporate life
heartbreak & immigration paperwork
and an electric shower that might kill you… but gives you your best ideas
You get Electric Shower Thoughts — a hilarious, honest, and deeply relatable stand-up comedy hour about living everywhere and fitting in nowhere.
This show dives headfirst into the chaos of modern life as an immigrant, expat, and former engineer who realized spreadsheets weren’t worth the existential dread.
😂 What Is Electric Shower Thoughts?
This is not just observational comedy.
It’s a confession booth with punchlines.
In this hour, Gus explores:
what it’s like being Brazilian abroad
dating with an accent
explaining Brazilian bidets to Europeans
career crises and corporate burnout
visa stress & immigration anxiety
being homesick for food more than people
family expectations vs real life
and trying to find love while still figuring yourself out
From almost becoming a nuclear engineer to deciding “nah… comedy instead,” Gus turns culture shock, heartbreak, and adulthood panic into sharp, self-aware comedy.
Every country has different plugs.
Different rules.
Different ways of making you feel like you’re doing life wrong.
This show is for anyone who’s ever felt out of place — emotionally, culturally, or professionally.
🎯 Who Is This Show For?
✔️ Expats & immigrants
✔️ People who’ve switched careers out of existential dread
✔️ Anyone who’s dated internationally (or regretted it)
✔️ Fans of smart, personal, global stand-up comedy
✔️ People who’ve tried to explain to their parents that comedy is a job
If you’ve ever felt lost, burned out, heartbroken, or confused in an airport — this show will feel uncomfortably familiar.
👤 About Gus Horn
Gus Horn is a Brazilian-American stand-up comedian who has performed in 25 countries across 3 continents.
A now-retired nuclear engineer, Gus jokes that he used to manage nuclear waste for a living — and now tells dirty jokes to survive.
Career highlights include:
Opening for Russell Peters on his Act Your Age European Tour
Tour support for Dave Attell, Nikki Glaser, TJ Miller & Rafi Bastos
Performances at top comedy clubs across the USA, Brazil & Europe
Featured performer at the Panč Festival (Slovenia)
TV debut on “The Noite”, Brazil’s most-watched talk show
Appearance on Episode 708 of “Kill Tony”, the world’s biggest comedy podcast
Gus blends intelligent storytelling with raw honesty, cultural insight, and fearless punchlines — creating comedy that’s global, personal, and brutally funny.

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

CMG Special Event: OSCAR PARTY & RED CARPET BASH at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for a CMG-favorite event, the OSCAR PARTY AND RED CARPET BASH at the Drexel Theatre! The highlight of the movie year live on the big screen always makes for a fun and memorable evening! Here are details for this event:
WHAT TO EXPECT: This year’s ceremony will be hosted once again by Conan O’Brien. In addition to the Oscars on the big screen, your ticket includes a Meal Deal from the Drexel’s new food partner Newfangled Kitchen (I’m checking on vegetarian/vegan options) along with unlimited popcorn and sodas, a free box of candy, and your first beer, wine or specialty drink on the house! Also included: Oscar-themed trivia with prizes from local businesses, on-site paparazzi, and the Drexel's Oscar ballot contest with a chance to win a year of free Drexel movies! Plus, the BEST and most FUN way to watch the Oscars with fellow film fans and your CMG friends!
ADVANCE TICKETS: General public tickets are $45 but Movie Group Members and their guests get in for just $35! Here’s how to purchase your tickets:
\* Option 1 – In Person: You can purchase at the ticket counter anytime during operating hours. Just mention you are with the Columbus Movie Group for the discounted rate.
\* Option 2 – Online: If you prefer to purchase online, you can do so by going to the link below and following these instructions: 1. Click the link below. 2. Click the little TICKETS box then click BUY TICKETS. 3. If you are a Drexel Member, you can log in here to receive the Member/Group rate, which is the same. If you are not a Drexel member, click “No” and the $40 Rate will pop up. But, don’t fret. It’s a little hard to find but there’s a “Promotion Code” section on the screen. Click the “Know a Promotion Code?” box, enter “CMG2026” (case sensitive) and submit. Select the appropriate number of tickets in the Discount Rate section and click “Add.” Next “Proceed to Checkout” then “Checkout” and enter your credit card info. There’s a $1.50 online service fee but it’ll save you a trip to the Drexel. (If you don’t already have one, you will need to sign in or create an account first.) Sellout possible so please purchase yours as soon as possible in advance!
LINK FOR TICKETS (See Above Instructions): https://prod1.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=373546\~e2e0a350-c626-4e33-bc63-27e983f4aecf&epguid=ab0b2f82-403c-4972-9998-5475e7dcfa0e&mdy=3/15/2026&
DRESS: Dressing up for the occasion art of part of the fun! Dress up as much as you like – there will be everything from casual to formal at the event! Or you can go in character as one of this year’s nominated films!
ARRIVAL: Doors open for CMG at 5:30pm so that’s when we’ll plan to meet! That’ll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen!
PICTURES: We’ll take pics throughout the evening and the Drexel Paparazzi will be on hand as well. We’ll also take a big group photo around 6:40 near the entrance before the show begins. If you happen to take some good shots yourself, be sure to upload them on the Oscar Party Meetup event!
RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked “Reserved” is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group!
VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this year’s Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line.
And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexel’s Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch ‘em with!
